9:23 There's a 35mm f/0.95 third-party lens fully compatible with the Nikon Z mount. It's made by Meike (but only available on manual focus). I have the 85mm f/1.8 from Meike (auto-focus) that I use on my Nikon Z5 and it's absolutely amazing, and it's only a fraction of the cost of the original Nikon version.
It’s a misnomer to suggest that a 50mm is “what you see” as shared in the video. A 50mm is called a Normal Lens for the 36x24mm format because is the Chord or the Diagonal length of this format is 47mm n 50mm is the closest. If one is trying to relate the equivalent angle of view humans can normally see, then that would be closer to ( approximately ) 21mm. Hope you do not mind my sharing this
Do you think that Nikon z5 may also be a bit slower to AF? I believe mount is the word. I also use filters. Nikon doesn't provide filter with a purchase. The dx is a great lens but it is an apsc so those are always way cheaper. There is a sigma dx lens 30mm f1.4 for about $400
Nikon has a 35mm 1.4 on the roadmap but it will probably be $1200 or more when it comes out. The Z 1.8 primes are great! The new tamron 35-150 f/2-2.8 is going to be the one to get! Great video!
@ShillingtonPhotography would love for it to be. There's so many theories going around online from 35 1.2, 135 1.8 (defocus), cinema line, noct like lens with AF. I have no idea but excited to find out tomorrow ☺️
Is this 35mm afs for DX camera ?? The old one you have ? Sure the 35mm DX isn't good for fullframe camera , i have it for my d7500, focusing bit slower and it's not sharp in f1.8,,
The Sigma 35mm 1.4 Art blows Nikon's 35mm S lens out of the water. You'll have to use the FTZ but it's actually worth it. Truly extraordinary I have a lot of Nikon and a few 3rd party lenses. That Sigma is one of my favorites.
Katey - I realize that you are not a technical person so let me share some facts with you: your 35mm 1.8 "DSLR" lens is a DX format lens - which means it is for crop sensor cameras - this is why it is so cheap, small and light - when you shoot it on your full frame camera you are cropping in to APS-C size. This means that on a Z5 or Z6 you are only getting a 10.3MP image with each shot. The actual full frame (FX) Nikkor 35mm 1.8 G lens for "DSLR" is much more expensive - something like $400-500 - I don't remember anymore. Basically you have been comparing apples to oranges. If you are truly interested in knowing why the 35mm 1.4 costs so much more, and why there is not a faster (i.e. 1.4 or 1.2) 35mm lens for the mirrorless system at the moment, let me know and I will be happy to share that information with you :) -PD
@@xmanreturn There are many technical mistakes in this video. For starters the DSLR 35mm 1.8 lens that Katey has is for DX crop (APS-C) that means that the image circle that it projects on the sensor is only approximately 40% of the sensor size. This has many ramifications: 1) the angle of view of the 35mm lens needs to be multiplied by the crop factor which in this case is about 1.5 - so this 35mm lens has the angle of view of 52.5mm on a full frame. Not sure how she didn't notice this as this means that her new 35mm S line lens is literally much wider in field of view than the old one giving her a much wider final image. Furthermore, the new lens takes advangage of all the pixels on her camera - so if she is using a Z6II she is getting all 24.5 MP instead of only approximately 10.3 MP with her other lens that forces the camera in DX mode and only uses approx 40% of the sensor. This leads to the next points - the reason her old lens was so cheap is that it requires much less glass to produce a DX crop lens than an FX (full frame) lens. There are several things that make a lens more costly but two of them are the size of the image circle that they have to project (in this case Full Frame vs. APS-C) and secondly the maximum aperture - in this case 1.8 for both lenses. Then there is IQ - the new Nikon S Line lenses are fully professional grade lenses whereas her old DX 35mm lens was a cheap consumer lens. Fully professional means the following: great build quality, the best IQ (Image Quality), Aberration control, Focus breathing control and special lens coatings. The consumer lens falls short in all of these categories. I have done a video explaining the S line of 1.8 lenses are not akin to the 1.8 lenses of old but are fully professional optics that compete with the 1.4's of old in every way except light capturing capability where they reman 2/3 of a stop slower, but you gain on smaller size and lighter weight. I will attach a link to that video as I think it will be educational for you or anyone interested in this: th-cam.com/video/VhEBEVTWWqw/w-d-xo.html The reason that a 1.4 or 1.2 lens is even more money than the 1.8 is that it requires even more glass to produce the ratio to achieve the wider aperture. In answer to her question, why is there no 1.4 or faster les available in 35mm for the Nikon Mirroress mount - the answer is that they are about to release a 35mm 1.2 S lens - which will be an astonishing lens but with a hefty price tag - anywhere from $2300-$3000, so if $700 seems like too much for someone then this is out of the question. I hope this helps to clarify the issue :) -PD
On the back of the camera under the menu button there is a button with a rectangle symbol on it press that one to change the speed of the shutter to continuous high or high with the star for a quicker shutter.. Z lenses focus faster but they don’t control speed for continuous high vs continuous low.. hope that helps
Not a tech guy myself, so this was a really nice break / awesome video to listen to! Making the move into mirrorless right now and wanted to stay within my 35mm “home” 🤙
This Your old 35mm with FTZ that DX lense, is for crop sensor,when You use this on any mirrors less Nikon FUll frame Z6, Z7 You don't get 35mm fell of view, This small lense work only in DX mode, switch automatic Your camera in DX mode , that mean x 1.5 and give You about 52,5mm this is close to 50mm, that why is very close do You use 50mm or this small 35 DX You got similar view, and Your camera got half less megapixels, Z6 on DX mode give You only 10mgpx, Z7 will give You about 20px, z50, ZFC and z30 that DX camera they have DX sensor, and they give You 20mgpx on this lense. The new 35 is full frame lense, when You mount this lense in mirror less Full frame Nikon Z camera You got real 35mm. Mount please Nikkor Z 35mm S, and after the old one 35mm + FTZ You will see the difference them. Is much wider.
So if is just one thing that I learn in over 20 years of photography, is that you NEVER put a cheap glass in front of your lens. So remove that UV filter and throw it. I had one on my Tamron zoom lens back in the days and I thought the lens lack sharpness, but after I remove the filter, ta da, perfect sharpness.

I want that lens next, I have the 50 and 85. I’m shooting on a Zf. Have you ever shot the Z5? I want to get that next as an inexpensive backup.
What camera are you shooting this lens on? Beautiful work!
You’ll have a blast with the Z series lens over the next few years. Plenty of great options. Look for rebates/sales. The 85mm is another great option.
great video, your old 35mm is a crop sensor lens though so its like a 50mm on your camera.
Do you think that Nikon z5 may also be a bit slower to AF? I believe mount is the word. I also use filters. Nikon doesn't provide filter with a purchase. The dx is a great lens but it is an apsc so those are always way cheaper. There is a sigma dx lens 30mm f1.4 for about $400

Great video!
I think it's a Z 35 1.2
@@asamendigorin1512 you think it will be the new “Plena” lens they are teasing? I think it will be the 135mm looking at that bokeh.
@ShillingtonPhotography would love for it to be. There's so many theories going around online from 35 1.2, 135 1.8 (defocus), cinema line, noct like lens with AF. I have no idea but excited to find out tomorrow ☺️
The 35 1.2 is supposedly coming soon. I know it will be $$$
But I will definitely want it.
I'm guessing it'll be around $2,500
Is this 35mm afs for DX camera ?? The old one you have ? Sure the 35mm DX isn't good for fullframe camera , i have it for my d7500, focusing bit slower and it's not sharp in f1.8,,
35MM 1.8 is on my target list, should be a excellent lens
Yes, but I am worried that they are going to release a 1.2 or 1.4 soon
Can you make a video sharing more pictures from this lens? I'm really interested in this one.
The Sigma 35mm 1.4 Art blows Nikon's 35mm S lens out of the water. You'll have to use the FTZ but it's actually worth it. Truly extraordinary I have a lot of Nikon and a few 3rd party lenses. That Sigma is one of my favorites.
And the same goes for the Tamron 35mm f1.4. Corner sharpness is almost the same in the center wide open.
i Got the 35mm f1.4 GM Sony glass for my ETZ21 adapter/Nikon z8. Probably the best in class 35mm out, and pin sharp even wide open.

What Nikon mirrorless are you using?
This Your old 35mm with FTZ that DX lense, is for crop sensor,when You use this on any mirrors less Nikon FUll frame Z6, Z7 You don't get 35mm fell of view, This small lense work only in DX mode, switch automatic Your camera in DX mode , that mean x 1.5 and give You about 52,5mm this is close to 50mm, that why is very close do You use 50mm or this small 35 DX You got similar view, and Your camera got half less megapixels, Z6 on DX mode give You only 10mgpx, Z7 will give You about 20px, z50, ZFC and z30 that DX camera they have DX sensor, and they give You 20mgpx on this lense.

Is much wider.
